You are in a lifeboat and have just watched the Titanic disappear from
view. Your lifeboat is overcrowded and all passengers have agreed that
it would be dangerous to have anyone else come onto the lifeboat. They
are all afraid
that the lifeboat would capsize if another person come on board. ALL agree that no other person can come in the boat. The person in charge of the boat is given a gun to enforce this rule. A hand pops up on the side of the lifeboat right next to you. The person is someone dear to you (mother, father, brother sister). This person says "If I don't get out of this icy water I will die in just 5 minutes. THERE ARE NO RIGHT ANSWERS. TERE ARE NO GOOD ANSWERS! Express what you would do, and how you feel in a 500 words essay. File: lifeboat.doc |
